Elaborating on the context of the Convention Harsh Jain, Chairman, of IAMAI and CEO and Co-founder of Dream Sports, said, “2023 has been a defining year for India’s Online Gaming industry, marked by multiple positive developments like MeitY’s appointment as our nodal ministry, notification of the IT regulations and clarity on taxation. Also, These developments will facilitate the industry’s sustainable and responsible growth over the long term. I look forward to insightful discussions at IGC. The focus will be on exploring collaborative strategies between industry, Government, and the ecosystem to enable a safe, trusted, and accountable industry.”

Bhavin Pandya, Chairman of the IAMAI Online Gaming Committee, and Co-founder & Co-CEO of Games24X7 said, “The Indian online gaming industry is going through a tectonic shift, with 2023 being a landmark year in its evolution. Key tax and policy frameworks have laid a robust foundation for the online gaming sector, but there is a long way to go from here. This underscores the need for platforms like the Indian Gaming Convention (IGC) where open and honest dialogues between industry and government, stakeholders and partners, and visionaries and innovators are earnestly facilitated. Such platforms are crucial for our industry to seize opportunities and face challenges collectively. However, I’m confident that the IGC will evolve into a central platform that will play an instrumental role in shaping the future of the online gaming industry in India.”
